I think Texas adds at least four more.

2 OL
1 WR
1 DE

But I think Texas is currently looking for seniors who they think are plus players. And they haven't made all of those determinations yet.

The kid from Atlanta is a maybe, and that's only if Texas recruits him.

I haven't heard or seen them talking to other QBs at this time.

Distribution/access issues aside, do you think the LHN is or will be as valuable a recruiting tool as some of us assumed?

Are the recruits y'all talk to even mentioning it much?

Outside of Benenoch , Billings and Harrison can you give us a name which Texas has a good chance of getting for '13 Class ?

I think it's been overrated from the start and said as much at the time.

Outside of the kids liking it when they're on campus, unless a recruits mom and dad can see it on their TV in their homes, there's very little value to extract in recruiting.

That being said, I think there was a little pop at the outset. It's just now I think the value has been mitigated by distribution difficulties.

And I think restricting three games a year to the LHN is moronic at best. ESPN created absolutely ZERO additional leverage by having a third game on the LHN this season. That was a very poor decision and it was one that was aided by the athletic department, which I find even more difficult a reasonable person should have advocated.

Think about this...

On a weekend when the rest of college football watched Johnny Manziel, 95% of die-hard Longhorn fans had no way to watch their Horns on TV. Couldn't even get them ANYWHERE!

That's absurd. And that's the way you lose market share as a program, not gain it. Silly.

Bobby,

Does the big 12 expand in the next 1-5 years? If so, who would be the teams that make the most sense?

I can't see us staying a ten team conference forever.

I continue to hear positive reviews on Hassan Ridgeway, Caleb Bluiett, Adrian Colbert and Bryce Cottrell.

Curtis Riser has been mentioned as someone with a lot of potential but needs to become more consistent.

Of the players who are currently playing but not seeing a ton of time, I hear that Kendall Sanders has a chance to be an extremely good football player.

Have you heard about any progress from Brewer or Overstreet?

Nothing new on Oregon. I think they're going to get hit harder than they think they will. It was willful infringement and an attempt to cover up IMO. But we'll see. The logic of the NCAA never ceases to amaze me.

I think it's less than 50-50 that Kiffin is back next year. The lack of reassuring statements by Pat Haden says a lot to me and it's something folks I talk to in LA mention as well.

Thanks Bobby

Is Bluiett working at TE or DE? Also, do you think Colbert stays at safety or does he spin down to OLB.

I'll leave the early enroll question to Jeff, Gerry and Blake.

Here's a "potential" transfer/attrition list as I see it:

- Trey Graham
- Aaron Benson
- John Harris
- Kyle Kriegel
- Thomas Ashcraft
- Taylor Doyle
- Chet Moss
- Miles Onyegbule
- Marcus Hutchins
- Garrett Greenlea
- Leroy Scott
